Steve Gunn – “Water Wheel”

Steve Gunn, who is one of the Violators in Kurt Vile And The Violators, is obviously a good guitarist. But there’s being a “good guitarist” and then there’s that rare special quality where people, at a loss for words, start name-dropping the practically supernatural John Fahey in order to describe you. That is one of the qualities that Steve Gunn’s music has, particularly for his bandmate Kurt Vile, who has been pretty vocal with his admiration for Gunn.
